A major concern in Translation Studies (TS) has been on what really goes on in the translators’ head while they are translating (not what researchers claim is going on). Among the techniques utilized in studying such cognitive processes and systems, think-aloud protocols (TAPs) have been widely em- ployed. As a content analysis study, this Qual-Quan mixed methods...

This paper addresses the quality of the Persian translations of 32 English tourism textbooks. The qual- ity was assessed at sentence-level and page-level by the researchers and from the viewpoint of a tour- ism management student. In Phase 1, the quality of one randomly selected sentence from each text- book was assessed applying Hurtado Albir‘s analytical model; two were acc...

the present article reports a study carried out to investigate whether or not awareness of functional translation theories has any impact on the translation quality of translator trainees. 2oo iranian undergraduate students took part in this study. they were divided into four groups -two- experimental and two control groups. after homogenizing the participants by a toefl test, a translation pre...

Introduction: The Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI) is one of the instruments used for measuring a dysphagic patient’s self-assessment. In some ways, it reflects the patient’s quality of life. Although it has been recognized and widely applied in English speaking populations, it has not been used in its present forms in Persian speaking countries. The purpose of this study was to adapt a Persian v...

Automatic metrics are widely used in machine translation as a substitute for human assessment. With the introduction of any new metric comes the question of just how well that metric mimics human assessment of translation quality. This is often measured by correlation with human judgment. Significance tests are generally not used to establish whether improvements over existing methods such as B...
